advanced routine
I've been on the advanced starting strength routine for a few weeks now.
Basically it involves a de-load on the squat on day 2 of the workout week to 70-80% of the 5rep max. On Monday my squat was 92.5. So today, I de-loaded to 70KG which is 75% of my 5 rep max.
The reason I enjoy this is because I am not pushed to my limit but still find it challenging. This gives me a mental breather where I am not pushing myself to new limits every time I step inside the gym. Additionally, it allows me to focus on technique to help ensure that the next time I do increase to a new highest weight, I'll go in confidently with the correct technique at the forefront of my mind.
95KG coming up Friday.
